We caught up to the three handed action on the river on the {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board. Ivan Luca led out with a bet of 128,000 into a main pot of close to 300,000. Cliff Josephy called and Daniel Alaei called behind.

Luca instantly threw his hand face down into the muck and Josephy turned over {k-Hearts}{8-Spades} for kings and eights. Alaei double checked his hole cards one last time before he mucked and Josephy took the pot.

Harvell Climbing Back Up

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

There was 400,000 already in the pot in what Justin Harvell later described as a three-bet pot on the turn with the board showing {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Mark Zullo was in the small blind and he checked to Harvell who checked behind.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked a second time and Zullo showed down his {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for two pair. Harvell had the best of it though, holding {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and that would earn him the pot pushing him back over one million chips.

Rheem Folds Full House on the River

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded to Chino Rheem in the small blind, and he completed. The big blind checked, and then both players checked the {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop.

The turn landed the {10-Spades}, and Rheem bet out 50,000 and his opponent called as the {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Rheem bet 200,000, and his opponent pushed out a min-raise to 400,000.

Rheem went into the tank and eventually had the clock called on him before he folded what he said was a {10-}.

The big blind tabled his {J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Rheem congratulated himself while dropping to just under 2.3 million.

Pollak Scoops a Monster with the Best Kicker

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak

We arrived at the table to find Benjamin Pollak facing a bet of 240,000 from his opponent in the small blind. There was already upwards of 400,000 in the pot with the board reading {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Pollak made the call and the rail inched closer to the table to get a glimpse of the action.

The river brought the {10-Spades} and the small blind opted to check this time. Pollak thought for a moment and then slammed his hand on the table as if to give up. His opponent turned over {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} and much to Pollak's surprise, he held the best hand with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Although he missed his flush draw, Pollak's hand was good enough to earn a monster pot.
